Friday Feature: Cultivating a Success Mindset

Do you talk to yourself? If so, you might already be poised for the first step in 5 Things You Need for a Successful Mindset. When it comes to mindset, self-talk can help us grow or make us stagnate.

What's so important about mindset? It colors everything we do. Mindset is more than just believing in ourselves (though that's definitely part of it). It's also believing that things can change, that we can grow, that not only can we dare to dream, but we can also create a path to make those dreams happen. Having a growth mindset means exactly what it sounds like -- believing in the possibility of growth, whether in business, in relationships or in life in general.

I can't imagine achieving success without a growth mindset. But, if you're thinking that's all well and good, but success requires more than just the power of positive thinking, check out Karima Mariama-Arthur's article in Success. If you've already got the talking to yourself portion down, maybe it's time to cultivate those other four steps.
